Conan's Helping People

The beach has express regulations that do not allow tourists to go near the deep waters. Especially when you don’t have any tools, you can only wander around the beach. If you have a yacht or something like that, you can go further.

The yachts are on the other side of the beach. On the front of the beach are people playing in the water or sunbathing. On the side of the beach are yachts of all sizes. They are floating densely on the sea. They are only a few meters apart from each other at most, making it easier for passengers to move them.

Drive out.

Some people's yachts had left early and dispersed, so there weren't many people where the yachts stopped.

Belmode found the large colorful yacht she had booked, and asked the person involved, "Would you like to go farther away to avoid the crowds?"

Although there are not many people, there are still a few yachts staying here, and they seem to be friends who come in groups.

They were having a great time, but they seemed a bit noisy and annoying.

Belmode felt that Hinata would prefer a quieter environment.

Unexpectedly, he just turned around and looked around, then shook his head, "No need."

Huh?

Belmode looked back at him in surprise, and silently gave up on driving the yacht. She followed the laughter not far away and turned her head to look, and saw the noisy owners.

They were a few women. They were on another luxury yacht. Two girls, both not too old, were lying on the edge of the yacht. They seemed to be playing in the water with their heads down, or talking. In the middle of the yacht, there was a girl lying on the other side.

Adult woman resting with eyes closed.

The first moment he saw the yacht, Bellmode just glanced at it indifferently, then withdrew his gaze, turned to see if the disobedient FBI lady had followed, and after turning her head for a few seconds, she suddenly reacted.

Come over and look back at the luxury yacht.

She said: "Huh."

He's actually from Suzuki?

Hinata looked back at her rationally, followed her line of sight and glanced at the colorful yacht not far away, "What's wrong?"

His eyes only stayed on the colorful yacht for a moment, and then moved to other yachts not far away from that yacht.

There were also four or five yachts, each with a group of people who seemed to be friends. There was a normal unfamiliar distance between the yachts, and it was as if the people didn't know each other.

But these guys really know each other.

There were three yachts that all knew each other, centered around the colorful yacht. From time to time they would look at each other while laughing exaggeratedly, or look at the large colorful yacht.

Most of the people on the other two yachts did not know the people on the other yachts, but a few of them knew each other and often made eye contact.

strangeness.

It was obvious that the people on the yacht were bodyguards in disguise. Hinata just glanced at it and lost interest. He turned his attention to the latter.

He had a subtle premonition for no reason.

Hmm...I always feel like I'm going to die.

"Nothing, I just saw acquaintances," Belmode smiled with interest, "They are the wife and daughters of a friend I just met."

There were only children on one of the yachts, the colorful one.

Hinata glanced over there legitimately, then looked away without interest.

Belmod said meaningfully: "I didn't expect to meet them here."

"I thought they would leave New York overnight. It seems that my new friend is very cautious... Unfortunately, if they returned to Tokyo overnight, things would be easier to handle."

"By the way, do you remember the kid with the headband?" she said, "You've seen it before."

"She is quite cute and a very smart child."

No one responded behind him, it was quiet, with only the sound of the wind and distant laughter.

Belmode: "?"

She turned back with some subtle premonition and saw the empty yacht.

...it's really a good idea to give up and have no skills.

She lowered her head and looked underwater.

The dazzling golden sunlight shines on the water, turning the slightly turbulent water into a shiny mirror composed of countless small fragments.

Belmod could only see her own reflection, with a smile on her still young and beautiful face. She was slightly startled, then looked up at the sun, and closed her eyes in the dazzling sunlight.

She silently warned herself as if joking: Next time before Hinata gives up properly, she must give an extra warning: never sing in the sea or save the princess who fell into the water, otherwise she will be fished away by humans.

The bright sunlight shone on her face, and because her eyes were closed, Belmod's field of vision was a bright red lake.

She smiled.

The bright sunlight also shines through the undulating water and into the water.

Now is the time when the sun is the hottest in the afternoon. The sun is shining warmly on the sea water, but that is only the part close to the sea surface.

Hinata closed his eyes and fell quietly. He felt the water getting colder and the surrounding light getting darker.

Belmode's soft voice and the laughter on other yachts gradually faded away. Across the layers of sea water, he felt like he was getting away from the world little by little.

Something moved quickly in the sea water, approached gently, and touched Hinata's reasonable finger.

There is a smooth and warm feeling coming from the fingers.

Hinata didn't open her eyes, she just moved her fingers and pulled them back.

In the water, his breathing was not as natural as when he breathed air on the shore, and he inevitably felt a sense of suffocation, but this feeling was not painful or scary.

On the contrary, Hinata felt a subtle sense of security and extraordinariness, as well as a sense of tranquility.

If he had to describe it, for him, being in the water was like resting in his mother's arms.

Because I was in my mother's arms, even if I felt suffocated a little bit and felt my life force passing away, it turned into something that I could relax.

He stayed quietly for a while, then felt something swimming not far away again, so he frowned and opened his eyes.

Then he was startled.

A snake swam over.

It was a black and white snake with almost transparent white smooth wings and circles around its body.

...Snake, does it have wings?

Hinata was legitimately confused.

When the snake swam over, he raised his hand, grabbed seven inches of it, coiled it up, and looked at it carefully.

It's very beautiful. Every white or black halo on its body is just right. The two pairs of transparent white wings are right at the front of its body.

It struggled against Hinata's reasonable wrist.

Hinata reached out reasonably, pinched its wings, and tugged tentatively.

He just pulled the wings off without using much force.

he:"?"

Wait, these are not wings, they are tape.

White transparent tape is attached to the body of this sea snake. Judging from the interlocking colors, it is probably a venomous snake.

Hinata pinched open the snake's mouth and took a look.

Has fangs.

Oh, what kind of human being is so powerful that he doesn't pull out the fangs when raising venomous snakes?

They look quite beautiful, no wonder they are kept by humans.

With its mouth pinched and stared at, the sea snake endured it, but still couldn't hold it back, and its fangs spit out venom.

Hinata twisted its mouth reasonably, causing the two spurts of venom to shoot out. He judged that it also had a great personality.

A very beautiful, strong, and extremely stubborn snake.

A bit like Belmode.

...Will Belmode like it?

Hinata thought for a moment rationally and started to swim upstream.

There were a lot of tourists in this area, and there shouldn't be many fish there. But he dived too deep, and there were a few fish scattered around. When he passed by them, they all swayed, came over curiously, and even tried to

It's reasonable to touch Hinata with your mouth.

Hinata avoided them reasonably. He guessed that these fish were most likely testing whether he was a corpse and whether he could eat it.

After swimming for a few minutes, he swam from the deep sea area to the normal area. The surrounding light slowly lit up and the cold water began to warm up.

In the distance, he saw the colorful bottom of the yacht.

There are two colorful yachts, surrounded by other ordinary yachts scattered around.

One of the colorful yachts and an ordinary yacht were close together. Hinata took a reasonable glance at the yacht and roughly judged that it was the yacht with only children, so she immediately swam to the other yacht.

He adjusted the snake's posture, letting it wrap tighter around his wrist, and then swam in a circle under the colorful yacht.

There was an indistinct figure on the edge of the yacht. There was someone there.

It must be Belmod, Hinata's water immediately broke.

＊

Suzuki Sonoko was lying on the edge of the yacht with some melancholy. She was holding her mobile phone and weakly talking to Mao Lilan.

"Are you already on the beach?" Mao Lilan expressed deep sympathy, but her voice was a little brisk, "Uncle doesn't want you to worry."

"He is also afraid that something might happen to you," Kudo Shinichi added, "human beings are very fragile."

Once the group of people who threatened Suzuki Shiro focused on his family and wanted to use his family to intimidate him, Suzuki Sonoko, who was nearby at the time, was in danger.

Kudo Shinichi could still understand Suzuki Shiro's approach of quickly getting rid of his wife and daughter. He had seen a lot of incidents with his father.

Human beings are really fragile creatures. If their kind wants to harm them, they can easily take away their lives.

"My mother said the same thing," Suzuki Sonoko patted the water surface glumly, "when she told me that my father has been very busy recently, and when she just told my sister and I not to play in the water too much and be careful about falling into the water."

As soon as she said this, she raised her eyes and said, "She also told me that there are water ghosts in the water, who will take advantage of the children to play in the water happily."

"'Whoa!' rushed out at once," Suzuki Sonoko suddenly made her voice louder and bolder, imitating a vicious and thick voice, "I will pull you directly into the water!"

The sudden intimidation was very effective, and Mao Lilan exclaimed: "Ah!"

The shout was so sudden that Suzuki Sonoko, who was deliberately trying to scare people, also subconsciously shouted, "Ah!"

Kudo Shinichi: "..."

You two idiots.

He took the phone, pulled it away a little, and complained: "Hey, you are at the beach. Aren't the water ghosts from the river? The ones in the sea should be sea monsters, the kind that eat human internal organs."

Suzuki Sonoko was stunned for a moment.

It seems like...

She waved her fist and changed the subject, "But it's not just sea monsters in the sea, there are also mermaids?"

"Human beings are very fragile, but..."

Suzuki Sonoko wrinkled her face and organized her words in distress, "But before we actually meet one, how can we determine whether it is a man-eating siren or a kind-hearted little mermaid?"

"Just because there might be a man-eating sea monster, you can't just stay away from water for the rest of your life, right?"

She scratched her head, unsure if she had conveyed her meaning, "And that's my father!"

So even if it was a siren, even if it couldn't help much, Suzuki Sonoko really wanted to help her father, and she also wanted to figure out why her dad was so haggard recently.

She lowered her hand into the water and turned it clockwise, "Although I am a child, I am not a fool..."

So trying to deal with her too obviously will only make her realize that she is not an idiot!

"Are you okay?" Kudo Shinichi asked another idiot in a low voice. The idiot Mao Lilan shook his head, and he handed over the phone to the professionals.

Mao Lilan thought for a while and tried to comfort her, "Because we are too young, and uncle cares about you very much. He is worried about you."

"You and him must be in the same mood. You are both worried about each other."

It was because they were worried about each other, not because of her father's domineering attitude, that Suzuki Sonoko was particularly depressed. She changed the direction of her hand, turning it counterclockwise, and then gave a slight 'eh' sound.

Under the water, there seems to be a shadow...?

She held the phone tightly and stared at the small shadow subconsciously.

The shadow seemed to be a human figure.

Wait, a figure?!

The content of the 'water ghost' that she just talked about disapprovingly suddenly appeared in her mind. Water ghosts will drag people into the water!

!

Suzuki Sonoko was horrified for a moment. She almost jumped up on the spot, immediately withdrew her hand from the sea, and then stumbled on the edge of the yacht. Before she could react, she saw that the shadow had reached the water.

With a sound of ‘Boom!’, a person broke out of the water holding something.

Suzuki Sonoko: "Ah——!"

She only screamed once, and while subconsciously closing her eyes, she saw the true face of that person.

What came out of the water was not a scary water ghost, but a male humanoid with wet hair.

The part of him that emerged from the water looked like a human being. His hair was dark black, and now it was wet. Some of the overly long black hair clung to his forehead and side face.

Underneath the black hair is a pair of extraordinarily bright green eyes, which are also wet, like a very beautiful and beautiful emerald that Suzuki Sonoko once saw.

The body is wearing a normal human short-sleeved shirt.

No matter whether it is hair, face or clothes, they are all wet.

Those eyes...that face...

Suzuki Sonoko's scream stopped abruptly.

She looked into those green eyes that were a little happy at first, then a little confused, and felt like the world was spinning.

She was a little dizzy, as if she suddenly turned into Alice and fell into a magical rabbit hole, so she couldn't tell the difference between east, west, north, south, and where she was.

Yes... it's a mermaid...

Suzuki Sonoko thought in a daze: It’s my prince who has come to pick me up!

Not far away, after hearing the sound, Belmode gritted his teeth and smiled: Sure enough, throw your hand, no.

Hinata slowly and reasonably took her hand back and put it into the water, then thought to herself: Oops, I scared the wrong person.
